@ad you are so right. How does risking your own job help anyone? It does not. You would instead help them learn to relax and know how to cope with the stress. That is a life lesson. My management has done this and it has helped my team weather all the recent storms. We do not stress like we used to. Keep your nose to the grindstone and you can know it wasn't you, it was them. No worrying that you could have worked harder.
A one-time assurance is over in a week but stress management is for life.

@a6 but what do you know. You aren't management or you wouldn't say that.
@a6 What do you expect them to do if they were instructed to be confidential? Confidentiality is key in senior level roles. I’m no where near the top, but ffs have some common sense. If you were an EVP for instance, would you risk your job by going against direction from above? Me thinks not.
Saying “I really don’t believe anyone knew beforehand” is BS. No company does random layoffs without VPs, directors, or managers knowing. They’re the ones who decide who gets let go.

@a6 I was in the dark through this entire process. My department head also was in the dark, but reached out to everyone on the team when they knew they were safe which wasn't until near EOD. I really do not believe anyone knew beforehand.
which brings me to.....if you're in a position where you could have gathered your team to tell them that they are safe today and you didn't, you absolutely su-k and shouldn't be in a people managing role. there should be consistency across the board. can't have some teams told they are safe and others left in the dark.
What the fu-k do people want? Why is "Yes" being down voted? You want us to lie?
"This round" may be done but freelancers/PBEs may see contracts wrapped out down the road due to today's changes. This is totally speculative but I can say PBEs are worried about it and no one really knows anything about what's next.
@OP Maybe.
